Episode 6
Trisha
My heart was pounding so hærd. Tracy kept on hugging me and assuring me that everything was going to go well. I was in my wedding dress and this morning Tracy had plated my hair into thin braids then held them in a pony tail. We were in a car outside the church.
Tracy: Trisha relax… relax… Nothing is going to go wrong. I will personally make sure of it.

Me: Tracy… Something’s are beyond our control.

Tracy: I can’t believe you are telling me that… Are you serious? You know I make things possible.

Me: (smiles) I love you.

Tracy: babe you know I love you more. Now let’s go.
She opened the door and helped me out. She gave me my bouquet, dad took my hand and Tracy went in the church.
Dad: princess?

Me: dad (tears)

Dad: don’t ruin your make up sweetheart

Me: I dont care… I am not wearing eye shadow anyway.

Dad: I am pleased to see you getting married.

Me: why did you choose this family.

Dad: they are a good family.

Me: (inhales) I trust you

The double door opens and everyone stood up, the org-n starts to play a song that sounds like a death march. And I slowly walk down the isle and dad has my hand. I see my little princess in a lacy pink dress. She looked so cute but she gave everyone a hærd time in the morning demanding a black pencil dress. Rose and Elizabeth where in white lacy dresses besides her Troy and kevin were in white suites matching with their father and man was he so hot. He had that breath taken look on his face. For a moment there I imagined it was Zenzele up there and he is looking at me like I am his world.
Dad: you know that you will always be my daughter… Right. And nothing will ever take you away from me.

Me: I know…

Dad: and I love you

Me: oh dad…
I give him a hug we were in front of Henry now and I didn’t want to let go of dad. He k-ssed my for head and let me go. Henry took me by my hand and whispered.
Henry: our first k-ss is on our wedding.
He was grinning and I shrugged. My eyes met with my mother and she blew me a k-ss then I looked at mrs Tyson… Scary as usual..m dressed to her best…she looked like the first lady of some country. Then I looked at Henry… He had both of my hands in his hands.
Pastor: let’s start with a prayer.
Are you kidding me right now! He prayed and prayed and prayed. I finally opened my eyes only to realise that I am not the only one with open eyes.
Pastor: amen.

Me: (whispers) hallelujah

He started to preach. I wanted to sit down… Standing on six inch high shoes is not very comfortable besides… No one told me I will be attending a church service at my wedding. I think that took about an hour.
Pastor: let’s pray

Me: really
He prayed again. Briefly this time… When I opened my eyes dad was not at his seat. I looked at Tracy and she shrugged. Mom stood up and also went outside. She looked disturbed.
Pastor: if there is anyone who is opposing this mirriage… Stand up and speak now.
No one up and my mind drifted to Zenzele… This should be cue… Hold on. Why am I thinking about him on my wedding day.
Pastor: speak now or forever hold your peace.
No one opposes. I look at Tracy… She is looking outside and concern is written all over her face. What is going on. Suddenly I feel restless where the hell are my parents s shouldn’t they be here when I recite the vows. I look at Henry and start reciting after the pastor.
Me: I do.
I push the gold ring in Henry’ s hand and by the corner of my eye I see Tracy leaving. Something is definitely amiss. Henry holds my chin and turns my head to him then I give him a breef smile. He starts reciting his vows after the pastor.
Pastor: I Henry Pako Tyson

Henry: I henry pako Tyson

Pastor: vow to love, care, and cherish…

Henry: vow to love, care and cherish…
A Loud scre-m made everyone turn to the window it sounded like my mom’s scre-m… What the hell is happening out there. I leave Henry’s hands and rush to the window. My dad… Oh no! My heart starts racing. He was lying on the ground. Mom was kneeling down but she wasn’t by her side. Tracy was busy yelling at him. Two other kids were there and then I saw Zenzele. His hand. I stopped breathing… He was holding a gun. I looked at my dad again and scre-med. If Zenzele shot my father I am going to kill him. I grabbed my dress up and ran outside. Every one followed me.
Me: Dad… Dad!
I kneeled by his side. I took a breath of relief when I realised that he wasn’t shot and he was still breathing. I looked up at Zenzele. He had his eyes closed and leaned on on a car.
Me: dad! Somebody call the ambulance.

Tracy: they are on their way. I stood up and went to stand in front of Zenzele.
Me: what did you do to my father?

Zenzele: nothing.

Me: you are lying… You are lying… Is this your plan of stopping the wedding.

Zenzele: babe…

Me: what did you do…

Zenzele: relax, he is being haunted by his sins

Me: what the f-ck is that supposed to mean? That is my father
I was just about to start hitting when I felt someone pulling me from behind. I turned tgo look at him. It was henry. He pulled me in his arms and hugged me. I didn’t need a hug right now. I moved from him and went to my mother. She was way too silent.
Me: mom?
She didn’t reply me. Tracy kneeled besides me and gave me a hug. Tears started rolling off my cheeks.
Me: you said nothing was going to go wrong.

Tracy: I’m so sorry baby… I tried.
The ambulance arrived and they took both mom and dad and we followed behind in henry’s car. I looked at him and he looked more than pissed off. He was sweating like a pig and his veins were visible on his head.
It has been about two hours and we were in the waiting area and my mind wasn’t functioning well. None of the doctors were giving us feedback. Zenzele was there with the two kids who were with him. The girl kept on looking at me like she wanted to come over and start a chat. Tracy was by my side and Henry was no where in sight. I stood up and went to Zenzele.
Me: what did you do?

Zenzele: nothing?

Me: please don’t give me that I know you did something to him. It’s like ever since dad knew about us you have been on a mission to completely ruin my life.

Zenzele: please trust me… Its all his works that lended him in the hospital bed.

Me: why were you holding a gun.

Zenzele: its your father’s gun… I took it from him before he could hurt anyone.

Me: what!

Henry: I’ve brought you some snacks

Me: (signs)
Stanley
Merry: Stan… I am pregnant.

Me: what!

Merry: I am pregnant.

Me: congratulations your husband is going to be so happy.

Merry: you are the father…

me: What! I am the father…. Are you crazy

Merry: don’t even try to deny it

Me: abort the thing.

Merry: no! Abortion is murder… Its against my principles.

Me: Merry… Do you want to destroy my family?

Merry: no

Me: do you want a divorce from your husband?

Merry: no… But

Me: no buts… You are going to get rid of that thing.

Merry: stanley… I am not going to do that

Me: have you got a much better idea…

Merry: I will my husband that its his child.

Me: merry… I cannot stand to know that my child is being raised by another man. Second… This things have a way of rising again to cause damage in future… So you will remove that thing. Or I will remove it myself… (Shows her a gun)

Merry: Stan

Me: am I clear?

Merry: okay…

Me: I will make an appointment with my doctor for that… Take this money.
I gave her the money…. Darkness… Flashlights…. I can’t breath… The sound of metal… Is this hell!
Trisha
A nurse came out of the room running… What is happening in there. Mom came out of room she has been kept in,side with a doctor behind her. I ran to her and hugged her.

Me: mom… How are you.

Mom: I’m fine sweetheart.

Henry: doctor… What is wrong with her.

Doctor: don’t worry it was just shock.

Me: what about my father…. What is wrong with him.

Doctor: he had a panic attack… We are trying to keep things under control but he keeps on having continues sizzuers.

Me: oh no!

Mom: will he be alright.

Doctor: we are still working on that.
He left… I knew they were doing all I they could but I felt like they were not doing enough. I sat down with my mother.

“I am really tired… I want to go back home” I turned to look at who was talking. It was the girl… What is she doing here again. She is probably Zenzele’s girlfriend… No why am I even thinking that… But then really who are they and what do they want.
Zenzele: I know where they stay… We will go to his place after he is conscious.

Boy: are you serious… You stayed with mom the wh0le week when she was unconscious because you wanted answers and you want us to leave him… We also want answers.

Zenzele: your mom is at the car… She still needs to rest… We must take her home.

Girl: Zandile has a point.

Boy: stop calling the dude Zandile will you… And if you want to go back… You can go. I am not going anywhere.

Girl: whatever I am going.
I catch Zenzele staring at me then he takes the boy’s hand.
Zenzele: we are going… No negotiations.
Stanley
I held a gun in my laps. She was standing in front of me. Pale, scared and guilty. She probably thinks I am going to kill her… No baby, this is just to scare your ass off.

Me: Marry what did I tell you?

Merry: I did…

Me: don’t f-ckin lie to me Merry. You didn’t turn up for the appointment

Merry: (cries) I’m so sorry but I couldn’t do it…. I can’t kill a child Stan… Please.

Me: please what… You want to ruin my life… My child’s life… My marriage.

Merry: I will make sure they never know about you.

Me: I am not taking that risk… Come on… We are going to the doctor right now.

Marry: or what… are you going to kill me with that gun of yours.

Me: if necessary yes… Nothing and absolutely nothing can ever get in my way. Do you understand.

Marry: shoot me then… Because I am not aborting my baby.
I raise a gun up her face and she sits down on the ground. She has to be kidding me. She is going to risk her life for a thing that doesn’t even have a body. My phone rings and I switch my attention to it. She takes the opportunity to attack me and the gun goes off.
Me: oh f-ck!!
Cold… Cold… Blood… Lights… Guns… I shot her in the tummy… Darkness is covering my soul. Is this hell?
Trisha
Its almost night time and I am so tired of being angry… Of being confused and of not knowing anything that happened outside the church. I am still in my wedding gown and I am starting to freeze. I haven’t touched the food and I am beggining to have a light head.
Henry: Baby… Mom says you should come home.

Me: I’m not leaving

Henry: but you know how mom can be.

Me: my father is on his death bed… I am not leaving this place until he is okay. If your mother thinks he can come and bully me at a time like this…. Just tell her that I don’t care… She can go and plan her funeral because I don’t give a f-ck.
He was startled by my words and I didn’t care. He went back to talking with the phone.
Doctor: can I please talk with Mrs Sindia.

Mom: thats me.

Doctor: in private.
They disappeared into the hospital hallway.after a few minutes someone stood in front of me. I raised my head and my heart jumped a little.
Me: mrs Tyson… I mean mother.

Mrs Tyson: how long are you going to stay here?

Me: until my father is well.
She sat besides me… People I swear if this woman starts with her emotional abuse I will reply her in a way she will never forget.
Mrs Tyson: in that dress? Your l-ips are so dry… Have you eaten anything?
I looked at her in shock. Her words were so not like her. Her eyes were full of concern and disturbance.
Me: I am not hungry…

Mrs Tyson: Trisha… You have to keep strong for your father. Dont starve yourself…. Dont worry all will be well but you have to get out of that dress. I brought you some clothes.

Me: thanks.
This is shocking. I thought she will be boiling over the Wedding thing…Since i ran out before we could finish.
Me: Mrs… Mother I am really sorry about the way I just…

Mrs Tyson: no need to apologize. You wouldn’t be human if you hadn’t panicked when you saw your father lying out there. But you will always be my daughter in law… We paid your bride price.

Me: (signs)
Stanley

she finally opened her eyes after a month… She looked so pale and so thin in the hospital bed. There is no way that the baby could have survived this so I was partly relieved.
Me: marry… I am so sorry.

Marry: what are you apologising for Stan?

Me: I didn’t mean to shoot you.

Marry: don’t lie to yourself or to me stan… We both know you wanted to kill the baby… Well done you have succeeded now go.

Me: are we still friends

Marry: God will strike me with lightning if I continue to call you my friend… You killed an innocent soul. You killed my baby. I hate you and I will never forgive you. Why are not in prison?

Me: calm down

Marry: I curse you Stanley Sindia… This will come to haunt you alive… You won’t find peace… How can you kill an innocent soul… Your child…. I swear your child will never find happiness because of you and your arrogance. Your selfishness your self centerednesss. You are evil.
I am evil… Selfish… I am going to hell. How come they are alive… How did they survive. How did they…. I am suffocating… I can’t breath… My body is stiff… I can’t move… My soul is being pulled by a strong force. What is happening to me? Opening my eyes… Everything is blurry… There is a bright light above my eyes. People are moving around me… They are all in white… My head is heavy. Is this It… Is this death?
Trisha
Doctor: he is awake
